My name is Leila, and I've been a full time artist since 2006. Most of my creations are inspired by "Day of the Dead", traditional tattoo design, and folk art from around the world. I love color! Catholic icons and symbolism influence much of my work. I put a lot of love and effort into each of my one-of-a-kind pieces. It brings me so much joy to create art everyday! I reside in Austin with my sweetheart, 2 kitties, and a Corgi. :)

Things I adore: carnivals, my Jeep with the top off, thrift shopping, writing actual letters, watermelon, snuggling with my kitty that's soft as a bunny, stacks of musty books, Christmas lights, all birds, old cathedrals, Mexican Coke in a glass bottle....

Shop of the Week: MacabreCreations.etsy.com

As you can tell by the name this is a store that offers items that are unique, unexpected, and on occasion … just plain macabre. I am intrigued by the unknown, the bizarre, and the odd.
As an artist, I am inspired by deviations that occur in nature, things that are “magical”, sights that evoke emotion, and (more often than not) whimsical imagery.
It is very likely that if you share my curiosity for something that is truly strange, you will find the perfect addition to your collection here.

Step inside the enchantingly spooky world of Marisol McKee and you will find yourself surrounded by artwork with a cultural flair and a myriad of stories to tell. Stemming from an inherently creative upbringing in a California farming community, the reach of artistic influence during Marisol's early years has left an important mark upon much of her raw and foreboding work.
As a first generation American and daughter of Mexican immigrants, McKee's interest in art traces back as far as she can recall, as her parents instilled imaginative ideals at an early age. Marisol remembers back to the late 1970s when she would often spend evenings doodling in a notebook while her dad watched "Starsky and Hutch" on television. As he taught her to draw whimsical birds, her father would lovingly admire the work that she cleverly filled her pages with. A serious man by nature, it was during these art-filled nights when she would see his contemplative disposition suddenly immersed in giggles and smiles... Read more here.

Before Static White was spawned she was another creature. A dark and unhappy creature. One night she had a long and horrid dream which at the end she died. She didn't wake. Everything just went black. She was alone with her thoughts but could neither see or hear. Slowly motes of white invaded the black and, oh, the sound! Like a TV when the channels gone off the air after you've fallen asleep and the remote has dropped unnoticed to the floor...

My name is Dana Hammack, I am a mom, a wife, and all around arts and crafts junkie. I live in Arizona and Day of The Dead Artwork is a very popular style here. As you look thru my little shop you will see a variety of things. It all depends on my mood as to what the finished piece ends up as. I work full time and this is my version of stress release. I hope you like my work and thank you for visiting my shop.
